Duplicate fields in table KOMB

[Former Member]

Hi,

We just upgraded from 4.6c to 6.0

and we have a partly activated KOMB table.

The activation log gave us this message.

warning: Enhancement category 3 possible, but include or subty. not yet classified.

Error: Field PARVW in table KOMB is specified twice. Please check.

How do I rectify these errors.

And can someone please tell me the difference between .APPEND and .INCLUDE

Thanks

Difference between append & include structure:

Append structures are used for enhancements which are not provided for in the standard (special developments, country versions and adding customer fields to SAP standard tables).

An append structure is assigned to exactly one table. i.e., an append structure can be used only for the table it is created.

Append structures can not be used with cluster and pool tables

Append structures are created in transaction SE11. Display the standard table fields and press the Append structure button.When you press the button, SAP sugests a name for the new append structure. After you has accepted the name, a screen will be shown where you can enter the new fields.

Append structures are created in the custome rnamespace ( ZZ or YY)

An include structure is reusable i.e., can be used in several tables.If you add a field to an include structure, all tables that contain that include structure will be updated.

Customizing includes begin with CI_ and is part of the customer namespace

One Customizing include can be inserted into more than one table.

You can find Customizing includes in SE11 under structures.

Hope this Helps

Append - you can add user defined fields to table or structure,you can use one append structure to one table or one structure.

Include - it sap will add fields using include ,the same include available into many tables or structures.

Just use spdd transaction to find out more on KOMB Structure.
